Psalm Singing

Singing Psalms

Dear Friends,

As you know we work through the Psalter on Sundays and have used various translations over the years.  Currently we’re working through the Inclusive Language Grail version which comes from the 1980s and used most widely in the Catholic Church, before that we used the Free Church of Scotland’s metrical Psalter Sing Psalms.  When we get to the end of the Psalter in the Autumn we’re going to be using a metrical version written by Anglican priest Dr Adam Carlill, Psalms for the Common Era.  They are both refreshing and set to well known hymn tunes. 

It would be lovely to have a recorded set of these for use on Sundays and for use in the digital services we produce and so I wonder if any of you are good enough singers and musicians with an ability to make good recordings and, if so, if you’d be up to recording some Psalms.  I’d do them in batches and not start with Psalm 119:)  So this would be a slow burn project and, depending on how many volunteers we get, shouldn’t be overwhelming.  

If you’ve got the skills and know how, or are part of a church choir with the skills and know how, please do drop me a line!

With every good wish

Andy
